Guy Trevellyan's Plastic Surgery is an urgent and phenomenal short that highlights an issue that most people push to the side. He marks himself as a filmmaker we have to keep an eye on with this debut.

Transcending Dimensions is a surreal blast from Toshiaki Toyoda, who aims to absorb us in every way that he can. It's ambitious, it's unruly, but it is never, ever, boring.
